Raw and full of blinding rage. The random violent spoken vocal clips, screeching and metal banging, drones and eerie alarm like beeps, and static walls all create this horrifying atmosphere of anger and hatred. Hierophant is just a flat out intimidating album.
I had this album from hermit's page, but I got this version with the hermit patch, which looks freakin' sick. Gwynplaine de Pétroleuse
